Former presidential candidates to lead organization promoting direct democracy

Presenter: Using his strong showing against Jill Stein in Oregon as a springboard, former presidential candidate Daví shifted his campaign from the United States to his own organization, which is working on adding direct democracy as a fourth branch of government. That election was decided Dec. 17. With his acceptance speech Dec. 20, President Daví:

Daví: Thank you for your votes for me as president, to lead this sacred journey of presenting this real system of equality and democracy for America. We have voted together, managing our own equality. We command what freedom is to us. We command our own American voice. We are the governors of our government, herefore, and declare an ongoing reminder of the fact that government works for us, since it seems somewhere along the way that got confused.

[00:00:56] This day is a consequence of the strength and perseverance of not only myself, but additionally, everyone in our team. Vice President Suzzanna Tanner, a fellow warrior and mother from across the country in Washington state has chosen to embrace and embolden our new perspective. She brightens every space she is in and is a prime example of the excellence that can be brought by someone who is self-taught.

[00:01:23] Presenter: From Vancouver, Washington, former independent presidential candidate Suzzanna Tanner:

[00:01:28] Suzzanna Tanner: While on the presidential campaign trail earlier this year in February, I was in an online presidential debate for Alaska. There were about eight other candidates, but I was immediately struck by Daví’s rhetoric, and our platforms seemed to effortlessly align.

[00:01:46] Our platforms had similar changes for our current system, such as rethinking our police, challenging the electoral college system, and ensuring our rights are protected; equal salaries for self-chosen work, access to quality housing through a housing exchange; and all health care costs covered.

[00:02:06] After that debate, we kept in touch. I told Daví about myself, my education, background in our laws, and experience as a mother of two. Daví told me about himself, how in 2020 he received an intuition through a newfound connection with our Earth. Daví was able to understand direct democracy: An online voting system allows us to ongoingly vote for the exact government that we want moving forward.

[00:02:32] In September, when Daví asked me to join him as vice president, it took me a little while to shift gears from the presidential run to the vice presidential, but I agreed because our common ground and our parallel goals for peace and prosperity in our nation.

[00:02:47] After that decision, I knew I was onto something when after Daví and I had our first fireside chat, a former American president’s verified account began following me on social media. In this position, I will be assisting Daví in making sure all votes we share as a nation are accessible and understandable for all Americans to participate. It’s an honor to serve you, America.

[00:03:11] We stand in gratitude to a man who held the vision despite all odds and all fears so that today we are living in the blooming of what equality and direct democracy looks like in America. May our path lead to peace and prosperity.

[00:03:27] Presenter: Daví:

[00:03:28] Daví: My campaign manager for the general election, Nissan Pitcher, who, after hearing my platform was ready and willing to accept me like a brother, and has stood strong with me for over a year. It is an honor and a privilege to stand with the both of you and all of our volunteers and allies who’ve shown up for us.

[00:03:47] Presenter: Campaign manager Nissan Pitcher:

[00:03:49] Nissan Pitcher: Our government has regularly prioritized monopoly corporations and their private goals over the American public good. In order to fully address this dysfunction at a core level, earlier this year on our nation’s day of independence, July 4, 2024, we presented the Declaration of American Human Governance.

[00:04:11] This declaration states that American government must respect Americans as humans first before any other rules, corporations, or so-called artificial intelligence. This document declares American human governance over our American government, ensuring American equality and democracy furthermore by adding a fourth branch of government based on popular vote.

[00:04:35] Presenter: In his speech Dec. 20, Daví:

[00:04:38] Daví: We publicly announced the Declaration of American Human Governance, just in case there’s a threat of corporations taking over the government and prioritizing billionaire monopoly companies over the American people. Just in case, there’s a threat of artificial intelligence outsmarting the people.

[00:04:55] Just in case, just in case, food and air and water manipulation. Just in case, human trafficking. Just in case, there’s a threat of the government being out of control of itself. Just in case, we Americans set out a Declaration, a starting point of defining our voice.

[00:05:13] The lovely Suzzanna explained direct democracy through an online voting system, equal salaries for chosen work, access to quality housing through a housing exchange and all healthcare costs.

[00:05:23] We are uniquely alive at this time, entrusted with this sacred moment where the world is looking for a better answer. We, in the land of the free, are entrusted with ongoingly defining what freedom means. We are entrusted with the highest possibility in this moment to do something beyond what we’ve seen or known, to take a great leap in thinking.

[00:05:50] America is a timeline of ideas, starting with the Declaration of Independence in 1776, written by Thomas Jefferson. From then on, we’ve been living in the evolution of those ideas, most importantly, democracy and equality in the land of the free.

[00:06:10] It is our turn to allow and nurture the next chapter of what equality and democracy’s evolution will be. This was the gift carried to us from our American ancestors. This land in particular is meant for the unifying of Earth’s humans from all places. My Indigenous American ancestors understood it as the call of great gathering, the place of converging ideas and new possibilities, forming the new chemistries of multiple peoples moving in and out, generation after generation. Americans are people from all places. You can find anyone from anywhere in the world in New York City alone.

[00:06:54] We must think about the continuation of this great endeavor—this call of great gathering to be the champions and the growers of what it means to be free, with the right to dress how you want, to bear arms, to speak freely. We must demonstrate to ourselves and the world what it means to be a bountiful, optimistic, thriving society of equality and democracy—for no other reason than because we choose to.

[00:07:23] With that choice, we live our possibilities. We ensure a brighter future for the upcoming generations. And most importantly, we gain our dignity as Americans respected by our own government.

[00:07:35] In conclusion, I have a prophecy and or invitation, however you’d like to take it. The prophecy / invitation is that you will be a part of causing our equality and democracy within the next four years. You—yes, you—exactly—will be so important and so valuable to yourself and to the generations of humans to come that you act. You sign the Declaration of American Human Governance (if you haven’t already), and vote with us.

[00:08:07] That you think about us in a new time after awakening. That you join hands in a coalition of us trailblazing exactly towards democracy and equality.

[00:08:21] Let us move forward, better thinking in alignment with what we truly know ensures our health, well-being and trust with one another, growing from ‘all men are created equal’ to ‘all humans are created equal’ with kindness, integrity, and a little bit of optimism.

[00:08:41] Let us show each other every day, more and more, what it means to live in this new time. Let us follow through with what we know is important and no longer be distracted by the old ways that we have learned are no longer healthy for us.

[00:08:57] Let us grow in our collective voice such that we may be more and more understood by each other, our government, and our world. Let us use our lifetimes to honor and magnify the tremendous wonder it is to be part of Earth, enlivened by our life-giving sun and our infinite universe of ways, worlds, and possibilities.
